Unit 8277

Category: layer    dug in 2001

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: packing 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 1.4m N-S X 1m E-W 

Discussion: Removal of more packing in the northernmost part of sp. 158 up to F. 772 in E, F. 622 in W, F. 623 in S, and northern exterior wall in N.
This is a continuation of unit 8248 that Oguz started and closed at an arbitrary point. We will continue excavating to make the situation clear (er)

We found a phytolith floor that seems to match up with the basal boundary of unit 8251 but the wall (F. 623) is still unexcavated so it is unclear. This surface fades to the N- toward the pit (oven disposal) F. 770. So, we opend unit 8292 to define the pit and its relation to this floor.

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
